Is Mogherini’s role called into question?

After 100 days, HR for Foreign Policy Federica Mogherini looks weaker than ever. All the important foreign policy issues for Europe have been treated by someone else. First, the Iran talks are still in the hands of her predecessor Baroness Ashton, secondly she was absent in Minsk for the peace talks with Putin (Merkel and Hollande negotiated on behalf of Europe) and now, the president of the European Commission Juncker appointed former French Commissioner Barnier as his special advisor for security and defense policies.
